Adams drew three looks on the Packers' opening drive, but wasn't targeted again after the third resulted in a Richard Sherman interception in the end zone. It was an inglorious end to a highly-promising rookie campaign. Adams is a beast after the catch, and has shown an ability to high point the ball with regularity. With Randall Cobb's Green Bay future in doubt, Adams could enter 2015 as Aaron Rodgers' No. 2 receiver. It's a role that would put him on the WR2 map in all formats of fantasy. Adams could be a Michael Crabtree or Keenan Allen-type talent. Jan 18 - 7:24 PM

Davante Adams is expected to see a lot of Richard Sherman in Sunday's NFC Championship Game at Seattle.

When these teams met in Week 1, the Packers sacrificed No. 3 WR Jarrett Boykin to Sherman's right side. Boykin played 49 snaps and produced zero catches on one target. Now the more talented Adams is the No. 3 WR, but leaving Jordy Nelson on the left side for the majority of the game makes a ton of sense. He can feast on Byron Maxwell (questionable, illness) or Tharold Simon. Jan 13 - 10:15 AM

Davante Adams secured 7-of-11 targets for 117 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' Divisional Round win over the Cowboys.

Adams saw a first-drive red-zone target, but wasn't on the same page with Aaron Rodgers for the back-shoulder throw. Adams was targeted again in the end zone early in the second quarter, but Rodgers overshot him. Adams had two first-half catches on screens, gaining 2 and 4 yards. Adams got hot on a late-third-quarter drive, dusting Cowboys CB Sterling Moore for a 16-yard gain and a 46-yard touchdown. Adams was particularly impressive after the catch, juking Cowboys SS J.J. Wilcox out of his cleats on the long score and repeatedly adding yards onto the back end of catches. Adams' 26-yard gain late in the fourth quarter helped ice the game for Green Bay. A big-time talent with an inconsistent role, Adams will get a much tougher test against Richard Sherman and Byron Maxwell in the NFC Championship Game. Jan 11 - 4:17 PM

Davante Adams wasn't targeted in the Packers' Week 17 win over the Lions.

Adams heads into the playoffs with just four catches over his past four games. He'll be a low-cost, but high-risk, WR3 in daily leagues during the postseason tournament. Sun, Dec 28, 2014 08:21:00 PM

Davante Adams is expected to see a lot of Richard Sherman in Sunday's NFC Championship Game at Seattle.

When these teams met in Week 1, the Packers sacrificed No. 3 WR Jarrett Boykin to Sherman's right side. Boykin played 49 snaps and produced zero catches on one target. Now the more talented Adams is the No. 3 WR, but leaving Jordy Nelson on the left side for the majority of the game makes a ton of sense. He can feast on Byron Maxwell (questionable, illness) or Tharold Simon.

Davante Adams secured 7-of-11 targets for 117 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' Divisional Round win over the Cowboys.

Davante Adams caught two passes for 17 yards in Week 16 against the Bucs.

Adams had a bad drop in the first quarter and secured just two of his four targets. He's been a non-factor the last three weeks behind Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb. Adams has a matchup with Detroit in Week 17.

Davante Adams secured 1-of-4 targets for six yards in the Packers' Week 15 loss to the Bills.

He also had a second-quarter drop, although Aaron Rodgers' pass was a bit behind him. The second-round pick has flashed at times this season, but Adams will be a mere WR4 when the Packers take on the Buccaneers in Week 16.

Davante Adams caught one pass for six yards in the Packers' Week 14 win over the Falcons.

Adams was targeted four times, but took a far back seat to Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb. The rookie also appeared to have a miscommunication on a critical third-down play in the fourth quarter of a close game. Adams remains a boom-or-bust WR4 for the Packers' Week 15 date with the Bills.

With the Patriots zeroed in on Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb, Aaron Rodgers targeted Adams six times in the first quarter. It helped result in Adams' best yardage day of the season, though he could have had a much-bigger game. Adams failed to get both feet in bounds on what would have been a first-quarter touchdown, and outright dropped a score in the final frame. Frustrating, but still a great day if you spun Adams as your WR3. Despite the big afternoon, Adams will remain a boom-or-bust proposition as a WR4 going forward.

Adams' Wednesday practice injury ended up being only a tweak. He will operate as the Packers' No. 3 receiver in what should be a high-scoring game. Inactive for the Packers are QB Scott Tolzien, CB Demetri Goodson, LB Carl Bradford, C Garth Gerhart, TE Justin Perillo, WR Jeff Janis and DT Luther Robinson.

Updating an earlier item, Davante Adams was limited in Thursday's practice with a heel issue.

Earlier reports pegged Adams as "DNP." According to coach Mike McCarthy, Adams got "stepped on" in Wednesday's session. It's a good sign Adams got in some reps on Thursday, but his Friday status will be all important for his Week 13 availability.

Reporters covering the Packers don't know what's wrong with Adams yet, but mid-week downgrades are typically a red flag. He could be needed Sunday if Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb have trouble against Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner.

Davante Adams caught two passes for 13 yards with a touchdown in Sunday's Week 11 blowout of the Eagles.

The Packers went back to "11," or a three-wide formation as their base this week. That led to chances for Davante Adams against the Eagles' weak corners, a matchup he'll always win. The second-round rookie did just that on a pretty slant route for a 6-yard touchdown midway through the first quarter, nicely shaking loose of Bradley Fletcher. Unfortunately, Adams will remain the third option in the pass game, giving him week-to-week inconsistency. He'll be a WR4 against the Vikings in Week 12. Adams was only targeted on two of Aaron Rodgers' 36 passes Sunday.

Davante Adams played 38-of-67 snaps in the Packers' Week 10 win over the Bears.

The 56.7 percent snap rate was Adams' lowest since Week 2, and a big surprise after he played 96 percent in Green Bay's previous game. Ordinarily a base-three receiver offense, the Packers attacked the Bears with two-tight end sets. Brandon Bostick and Andrew Quarless each scored a touchdown, while Adams was left out to dry, managing one catch for ten yards on two targets. With unpredictable usage, Adams can be viewed as no more than a WR4/flex going forward.

It was merely a cleanup operation and Nelson should be fine in 6-8 weeks, according to coach Mike McCarthy. If Nelson was hurt last season, he sure didn't play like it. He reeled in a team-record 1,519 receiving yards en route to his first All-Pro selection. We're not particularly worried about Nelson's re-draft stock. At the same time, now might be an opportunity to sell high on Nelson in Dynasty as he approaches his 30th birthday.

He'll be placed on injured reserve, ending his season. A fifth-round pick, Abbrederis was in the mix for the Packers' No. 5 receiver job. Abbrederis will be 11 months removed from ACL surgery for training camp next year.
